[rescue] SSA Disk Capacity?

[bran tregare]

I installed a 1/2 terabyte RAID system at the last place I worked.

  It's a Arena II Rackmount from Raidweb.  it takes IDE drives and uses hot 
swap carriers for the drives.

  it looks like a single Wide or Ultra SCSI drive to the outside world.

  Filled with IBM 75 Gig drives it works great :)  I think it set us back 
about $7K to $8K ?
